# HGA Fundraising — Full Site Content

> Premium, risk-free consignment travel packages, charity auction items, and fundraising services for nonprofit organizations.

HGA Fundraising helps nonprofits raise more money at galas, golf tournaments, and charity auctions by providing curated luxury travel packages on a risk-free consignment model. Nonprofits reserve packages at no upfront cost and only pay for what actually sells at their event — keeping every dollar raised above the reserve price. Unsold packages are simply returned, leaving the nonprofit with zero financial exposure.

## What We Do

- **Consignment auction packages.** Reserve any package at no cost. Pay only on what sells. No risk to the nonprofit.
- **Curated travel and experiences.** 50+ trips across destinations like Italy, Hawaii, Tuscany, Napa, the Caribbean, Scotland, Mexico, and more. Each package is hand-vetted and event-tested.
- **Multi-destination Passport packages.** A single auction item that lets the winning bidder choose from a curated set of destinations — built to broaden donor appeal in silent auctions and raffles.
- **The Golden Ticket.** A $100 raffle/drawing-style add-on that consistently lifts gala and event revenue.
- **Vacation Station.** A silent-auction strategy that uses bundled travel packages to maximize bid sheet activity.
- **Personalized booking assistance.** Media kits, auctioneer scripts, marketing assets, and donor concierge service included with every package.
